I didn't want to vote 'Other' although it's quite appropriate since the list here is missing quite a lot of good drummers, anyway Peart is good enough for me to say he is the best drummer.

Missing a lot of good drummers on this list, as already previously stated. From this list I'll take Peart, with Harrison coming in a close second.

I agree completely - he's extremely underrated, largely because Camel played as a band, not as a group of individual maestros. I'm still not sure I'd pick him above Peart or Bruford, but he's up there with them.

Harry Hughes, what a ridiculous exclusion, proving yet again that record sales rule over quality.

I'm no expert on drumming but the most bad-assed perfomance on a single album I have ever heard was by Jon Theodore on Deloused in the Comatorium.
